International Accounting standards are central to this concept. International standards were first developed in the late 1960 s but they have reached their zenith of importance in today s economic and business environment . It is also evident that governments and policymakers recognize this change. This point was made publicly when the European Council of Ministers passed a resolution requiring all EU companies listed on a regulated market to prepare accounts in accordance with International Accounting standards for Accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005.
